How many were you planning to plant in the barrel? I save my barrel for bigger plants with deeper root systems like tomatoes or blueberries. I grow my eggplants in 2 or 3 gallon pots and I fertilize quite often as it works for me this way. Can't grow in the ground cuz of the pesky destructive flea beetles. I have my pots in a different part of the garden, away from the soil, up on tables.
